Membership is a key component of RDR’s mandate in institutionalizing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in Peel region. The RDR model grew from organizational representatives coming together to work on issues of DEI. Today, 47 organizations across the human services sector (not-for-profit, social services, public) in Peel region sit at the roundtable, spanning small grassroots initiatives, mid-size social service agencies, and key institutions. RDR members guide our strategic direction, strongly support and engage in our activities and initiatives, and collectively commit to creating an inclusive Peel community.
To become an RDR member, the organization must be a registered charity and/or a non-profit that offers programs and/or services in Peel region. Also, the senior organizational leader must commit to working towards institutionalizing diversity, equity, and inclusion within the organization and designate a staff member to serve as a representative at the roundtable.

RDR members provide direction on the RDR deliverables and make decisions on behalf of the RDR. Members may also form part of a subcommittee or working group. Members are committed to the vision, values and mission of the RDR.
Membership to the Regional Diversity Roundtable is granted by current RDR members during a monthly roundtable meeting. The Coordinator is responsible for explaining the rights and responsibilities of membership, as well as the membership procedures to any interested parties.
Once an organization expresses interest in membership, the following procedures are to be followed:
